Hines Germany, the firm's first overseas office, opened in Berlin in 1991. The first development project for the region was Hofgarten am Gendarmenmarkt, a 537,270-square-foot mixed-use development (office, hotel, retail and residential) in Berlin. Since then, Hines Germany has successfully completed other landmark projects in Berlin, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf and Munich, totaling 3,976,097 square feet, which—amongst others—include Main Tower, Uptown München, Benrather Karree and Die Mitte/Shopping at Alexanderplatz.
